A | CANBERRA, Australia -- A Chinese Australian journalist who was convicted on murky espionage charges and detained in China for three years has returned to Australia, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Wednesday.Cheng Lei, 48, worked for the international department of China's state broadcaster CCTV. She has reunited with her two children in Melbourne, Albanese said.Her return comes ahead of Albanese’s planned visit to Beijing this year on a date yet to be announced. He will become the first Australian prime minister to visit the Chinese capital in seven years.Albanese said Australia had traded nothing with China for Cheng's release.“Her release follows the completion of judicial processes in China,” he said.China’s Ministry of State Security said that Cheng had been approached by a foreign organization in May 2020 and provided them with state secrets she had obtained on the job in violation of a confidentiality clause signed with her employer. A police statement did not name the organization or say what the secrets were.A court in Beijing convicted her of illegally providing state secrets abroad and she was sentenced to two years and 11 months, the statement said. She was deported Wednesday after serving her sentence, presumably because she had already been detained for that long .“Her return brings an end to a very difficult few years for Ms. Cheng and her family," Albanese said. "The government has been seeking this for a long period of time and her return will be warmly welcomed not just by her family and friends but by all Australians.”The FreeChengLei account on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted a photo of Cheng with Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Australia's ambassador to China, Graham Fletcher.The post included a quote, apparently from Cheng, that read: “Tight hugs, teary screams, holding my kids in the spring sunshine. Trees shimmy from the breeze. I can see the entirety of the sky now! Thank you Aussies.”Albanese’s government has been lobbying for the release of Cheng and another Chinese Australian held in China since 2019, Yang Hengjun.Bilateral relations have improved since Albanese's center-left Labor Party was elected after nine years of conservative rule. Beijing has lifted several official and unofficial trade barriers on Australian exports.Albanese's reference to China's judicial system suggested that Cheng had recently been sentenced after she was convicted in a closed-court trial last year on national security charges.Questioned by a reporter, Albanese said China was not acknowledging through Cheng's release that she posed no threat or had been wrongfully detained.“No, China would have not have said that that's the position. China would say that the judicial processes have been completed in China,” Albanese said.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said that the Chinese judicial system tried the case “in accordance with the law, fully safeguarding the rights enjoyed by the person concerned in accordance with the law.”Albanese said he spoke to Cheng in Melbourne, where her children have been living with her mother, and that they discussed a letter she had written to the Australian public in August to mark the third anniversary of her detention. The Chinese-born journalist spoke in her letter about her love for her adopted country.In the letter, she also described her living conditions in detention in China, saying she was allowed to stand in sunlight for just 10 hours a year.“She is a very strong and resilient person ... and when I spoke with her she was delighted to be back in Melbourne,” Albanese said.Albanese did not say whether Yang was also likely to be released.“We continue to advocate for Dr. Yang’s interests, rights and wellbeing with the Chinese authorities at all levels,” Albanese said.Yang, a 58-year-old writer and democracy blogger, told his family in August he fears he will die in a Beijing detention center after being diagnosed with a kidney cyst, prompting supporters to demand his release for medical treatment.Yang has been detained in China since January 2019, when he arrived in Guangzhou from New York with his wife and teenage stepdaughter.Yang received a closed-door trial on an espionage charge in Beijing in May 2021 and is still awaiting a verdict.Yang's friend, University of Technology Sydney academic Feng Chongyi, said on Wednesday a verdict had been postponed for three months 11 times and the next possible ruling was January.He said Cheng’s release was good news for Yang. “I do hope Yang is treated in the same way. Given Yang’s poor health, his release is actually more urgent,” Feng said.___Associated Press writer Ken Moritsugu in Beijing contributed to this report.___This story corrects the name of the Chinese security agency.。 9월 9일부터 점심 유예 오후 3시까지…CCTV 단속 오전 9시~오후 9시로골목상권·전통시장 이용 편의 높여…주정차 금지구역은 기존대로 단속 최동민 동대문구청장 프로필 사진. 동대문구청 제공서울 동대문구는 주민 불편을 줄이고 골목상권과 전통시장 이용 편의를 높이기 위해 불법주정차 고정형 폐쇄회로(CC)TV 단속 유예시간을 확대한다고 26일 밝혔다.구는 현재 오전 11시부터 오후 2시 30분까지 적용하는 점심시간 불법주정차 단속 유예시간을 오후 3시까지 30분 연장한다. 오전 7시부터 오후 10시까지였던 고정형 CCTV 단속 운영시간도 오전 9시부터 오후 9시까지로 3시간 단축한다. 변경된 단속 기준은 다음 달 9일부터 적용된다.이번 조치는 이른 아침부터 시작되는 주정차 단속에 따른 주민들의 과태료 부담과 단속 피로도를 낮추고 지역 상권 이용을 활성화하기 위해 마련됐다. 특히 맞벌이 가정 등이 자녀의 등·하교를 위해 잠시 주정차했다가 일반구역보다 높은 어린이보호구역 과태료를 부담하는 사례 등 주민 불편이 이어졌다고 구는 설명했다.구는 단속시간 조정으로 골목형상점가와 소규모 음식점, 전통시장 등의 이용 편의가 높아질 것으로 기대하고 있다. 차량 승·하차나 택배 배송 등 생업 과정에서 불가피하게 발생하는 주정차에 따른 부담도 줄어들 전망이다.다만 보행자 통행이나 교통 흐름을 방해하는 차량에 대한 단속은 계속한다. 보도와 횡단보도, 교차로 모퉁이, 안전지대, 버스정류소, 소화전, 소방차 통행로, 어린이보호구역 등 도로교통법상 주정차 금지구역 위반 차량도 단속 대상이다. 교통소통에 지장을 주는 장시간 불법주정차 차량에 대한 현장 단속도 이어간다.구는 지난 5월부터 현장 단속공무원이 불법주정차 단속에 앞서 방송으로 차량 이동을 유도하는 ‘불법주정차 단속 예고제’도 운영하고 있다.최동민 동대문구청장은 “불법주정차 단속은 과태료 부과가 목적이 아니라 보행자의 안전을 확보하고 원활한 교통환경을 조성하기 위한 것”이라며 “CCTV 단속시간 조정 등을 통해 주민들이 체감하는 불편은 줄이고 꼭 필요한 곳에서는 실효성 있는 단속이 이뤄지도록 하겠다”고 말했다.。
